All in Caring for Aging Parents
Talking about death, especially one’s own death, remains a topic that most people avoid thinking about or openly discussing. However, avoiding conversations about death and end-of-life care can lead to discomfort, confusion, and unfulfilled wishes in the long run.
Winter can be an enjoyable time of the year, with holidays, time with family, and winter scenery. But it can bring challenges, especially for older adults. Keeping a home warm enough can be expensive, staying warm while outside is more difficult, and driving, and even walking can be more dangerous. Here are some ways older adults can stay safe and warm during the winter months.
As the population ages and our elders encounter difficult financial, legal, and healthcare situations, the need for comprehensive planning has become evident. In this context, the role of professionals focused on these issues with a specific focus on elders becomes paramount. Certified elder law attorneys (CELAs) are equipped with the expertise to navigate the unique challenges that seniors may face.
Q: My loved one was just diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and I am overwhelmed with all that we are facing now. Where do we even begin?
A: This is everyone’s worst nightmare! But, do not fret; we have a solution for you.
When we talk about trusts, we talk about having a plan- what is going to happen in your life- out of the blue or after aging takes place? Do I have things set up so that my family is not overwhelmed by the details? Make sure your family is taken care of with a gameplan ahead of time. The legal document should correspond to your plan.
Concern: My spouse is sick and is starting to need a lot of care. We can’t afford the cost of my spouse’s care forever, and I’m worried that one day soon we will run out of money. I’ve heard that I either need to become impoverished or divorce my spouse in order to get Medicaid to pay for care. Do we have any other options?
Concern: I am a mother, daughter, full time employee, wife, and more. I am pulled in a million different directions trying to take care of my own family, and now my parents are having health issues and need care of their own. It’s a constant worry for me and I know I need help figuring out how best to manage it, but where do I start?
Concern: My mom got her Will on the Internet. Is she really protected?
